One woman logs her attempts to care for her body.

In the past month my weight has fluctuated from 121, to 116, to 119.5 (today). I am PMSing though, so maybe some of it is water retention.

My year at the gym is almost over and I don't think I will continue with my membership. My body is finally back on a night owl schedule which removes the possibility of attending the two morning Pilates classes, leaving only two other classes I like and could attend. I think I'd rather spend the $50 a month on exercise dvd's which I can do any time I want at home, and wind up with more variety. But then again, we DID go to the gym tonight for stretch class, and I DID enjoy reading while walking (SLOWLY) on the treadmill, which I guess could replace sitting on my ass at home and reading. I don't know. I mean, I really only use three of the machines there so . . . is it worth it?

Tonight my lower back/ass/leg problem is really fucking hurting. Does that mean I should stretch more tonight after stretching an hour already today? Or does that mean I stretched too much? Or just that my back is FUCKED up?

My shopping slave bought me some face goo and powder that I've been enjoying immensely along with some perfume. I so rarely pamper myself with beauty products, especially since I work at home . . . the past week I have completely enjoyed smelling girly. I don't usually LIKE girly smells very much -- or I like them, but wind up finding them overpowering even in small amounts so that I avoid them completely.
